John, I'm still young enough where I have yet to experience such a profoundly strong love like that of which you shared with your dear late wife(may god rest her soul). But I wanted to tell you that I hope you are well through it all even as things are. You sound like quite the man and I gotta say we don't come out quite the way your generation does these days. Know that god and you relatives whoever they are love you everything in your heart and surely if I ever had the chance to meet and know you I'd come to love you myself. May peace be with you sir.

When I was a teenager, I thought ‘old school’ twangy, corny country was about the least cool thing you could listen to. I’d grown up on deep roots delta blues, which isn’t that far…but country seemed so ‘hillbilly’. Always stating the obvious, dichotomous standards of being true and loyal vs infidelity and two-timing up one side and down the middle. Then the new wave of country came in, and it was somehow more “real” to me. When I heard all the new bloods saying over and over how George Jones was their favorite, or most inspirational, I started listening to his older stuff. Wow! Sometimes, a few years gives you a whole different perspective. This song, and George’s rendition, is pretty much untouchable. His voice lends itself completely to the wail of unrequited love. He had his demons, and his personality that often made things difficult in his private life. But stand the ol’ Possum on stage, and he delivered every time. Flawlessly.💕
